Financial Guru Dave Ramsey Wins Case Against Covid Complainer, But Class Action Lawsuit Still Looms
A federal judge has dismissed a lawsuit against Christian Financial Guru Dave Ramsay that sought damages for the discrimination around COVID protocols and what he claimed were poor working conditions.
Brad Amos was a Senior Video Editor hired in 2019. Once the pandemic hit, he told his bosses that he wanted to work from home to protect his health and that of his family, which he says was in accordance with his “religious beliefs.” His request was denied, and he was ultimately terminated in July 2020.
According to Amos, his six-year-old son has Coats disease, a rare disorder involving an over-abundance of blood vessels in the eye, and his wife is ‘predisposed to pneumonia’ and therefore, he took measures to ensure their safety; all the while, Ramsay was publicly berating anyone taking preventative measures in the office.
Amos said he was “harassed” about his personal and family life and ridiculed for insisting on wearing a mask during the pandemic and for suggesting better protocols. His lawsuit also
repeatedly alleges that leadership promised him a “drama-free, family work environment” and that rumors the company was “cult-like” were untrue and made up. According to RNS:
U.S. District Judge Eli Richardson of the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Tennessee ruled that Amos’ lawyers had failed to show that he had been misled. Representing a company as drama-free or family-friendly was a statement of opinion, not a promise, the judge ruled.
Richardson also ruled that the plaintiff failed to prove his dispute with Ramsey’s leadership over the COVID-19 pandemic.
Despite the win, Ramsey is still facing a class action lawsuit after being sued by former followers for $150 million over his endorsement of a failed timeshare exit company that defrauded customers out of millions of dollars.
